As of December 20th, 2004

The Swift 1805 Pilot Boat (my nearly finished project was actually started in 1984.) . . .
After putting together the false keel, bulwarks and false deck, and a false start on planking, the model was carefully packed away for 20 years. I started again in the summer of 2004, beginning with the planking.

Some modelling notes . . .

Note addition of gun ports with additional bulwark supports, and some rather oversized block and tackle. The barrel also has been tied down.

Earlier pictures . . . .

Helpful materials for fellow Swift Modellers: (These are large pdf files and will take some time to download)
